English

The English teachers at CBC wish to pass on their appreciation and love for their subject to their pupils.

The principle of integrating the teaching of language and literature, is a fundamental aim of this syllabus.


The five general headings are:

​The language of information

The language of argument
The language of persuasion
The language of narration
The aesthetic use of language

Students should engage with the domains of comprehending and composing in oral, written and, where possible, visual contexts.

SUBJECT TARGETS

CONCEPTS & PROCESSES:
The ability to think, reason, discriminate and evaluate in a wide variety of linguistic contexts, personal, social, vocational and cultural. In comprehending, students should be able to analyze, infer, synthesise and evaluate; in composing, students should be able to research, plan, draft, re-draft, and edit.

KNOWLEDGE & CONTENT:
Knowledge about the nature and uses of language and the variety of functions and genres in which it operates. In this context genres of literature will be of particular significance.

SKILLS:
Interpreting and controlling the textual features (grammar, syntax, spellings, paragraphing) of written and oral language to express and communicate.
